Founded by the Saxons, amidst green valleys and wooded hills, Sherborne is a mellow-stoned, living pageant of history, whose ancient and beautiful buildings celebrate the glories of church, military might and educational aspiration.

The evidence is all around you in this beautiful, welcoming town - the superb Abbey Church with its delicate fan-vaulting ceiling and stained glass windows, two castles, mediaeval buildings and renowned schools. An unusually complete example of a 15th century almshouse lies in the shadows of the abbey.

The timeworn Old Castle and the late 16th century Sherborne Castle built by Sir Walter Raleigh, face each other across the lake to the east of the town.

Sherborne offers delightful and varied shopping, hand crafted goods and elegant fashions and is well known as the home to many fine art and antiques shops. Throughout the town you will find independent retailers selling unique and unusual items.
